Delitzsch, Babylon, and the Bible -- 2. The broad reach of Babylonian civilization -- 3. Babylonian influences and Delitzsch's misinterpretations -- 4. Babylonian influences on Israelite culture -- 5. Babylonian influences on Israelite religion -- 6. Revelation in Israel.
Hanson's new translation and edition of Gunkel's classic response to Friedrich Delitzsch's views of the Babel-Bible controversy places in historical context the strong reaction against Delitzsch, headed in part by Gunkel. Hanson's foreword contains a contemporary evaluation of Delitzsch's claims, as well as a solid review of the comparative method used today to investigate Mesopotamian and Israelite connections.
